Gov. Jim Justice: Resignation Rumors “Unfounded and Untrue”
CHARLESTON — Gov. Jim Justice this morning, responding to rumors that he had resigned from office, said “This rumor that I have resigned is completely unfounded and untrue” on his official Twitter account. He also addressed it briefly during a segment on a statewide talk radio show.
The rumor started after teachers and school service personnel last evening continued to protest over the deal between Justice and union leaders to get schools reopened. The governor said teachers would see a 5 percent pay raise and he would appoint a commission to address rising costs through the Public Employees Insurance Agency.
